Switzerland called a meeting with China's ambassador to express its concern about the human rights situation in the western region of Xinjiang, the foreign ministry in Bern said on Thursday, correcting its earlier comment that it had "summoned" the envoy.
"Switzerland is convinced that the best way to safeguard its interests and the respect of fundamental rights is to conduct a critical and constructive dialogue with Beijing," the ministry said, confirming a report by the SDA news agency.
